Co Do

My friend ordered a shrimp and crab noodle soup 🍜 and got a soup with pork, tofu that looked like death and no noodles... When sent back, they said that it's not a mistake and that was the actual soup 🤔 they put about 3 plates of lettuce with dipping sauce on our table and then after we had picked at the lettuce, then removed it from the table and placed the lettuce that we had fingered on someone elses table to eat. I left this place feeling very confused, unsatisfied and turned off my life.

There really is only one thing to order here; the Bun Bo Hue. It’s their specialty and they do it better than anyone else in Melbourne. The broth is pork based and spicy (not too spicy). Different cuts of meats in here; including slice pork, slice beef, pig blood curd and sliced pork sausage. This is heaven in a bowl of soup. I’ll generally order this with a side of prawn spring rolls, which pairs well.

I've been to CoDo a couple of times now, seeing as so many Vietnamese restaurants on Vic St have closed due to Covid, no business. I had the Regular Beef Pho with Rare and Braised Beef, (Med $13.5) Which was nice. I think there was an overdose of Msg in it, as I was super thirsty and brain tingling afterwards. A few pieces of the Beef was rather tough, but I injoyed the Pho overall. I tried Bahn Bo Nhan Thit for the first time, rice flour pancakes with minced meat and sauce. ($10) It was delish! 🙆 Pretty good service and at least I got acknowledged, better than another Vietnamese Restaurant I went to in Preston.

This Vietnamese restaurant have another branch in Sunshine. Their signature dish is the Hue style chilli beef soup. The broth is deep in flavour and have a nice balance of meat and spiciness. The dry noodle is also great and you can choose to have it either with egg or rice noodles. The spring rolls were pretty average. Food - 8 Service - 8 Vibe - 8 Price - $$

I had some take away from here. Ordering 3 dishes I had some vegetarian rice paper rolls which were really tasty. The second dish was a vegetarian soup which had a good selection of vegetables. And finally I had some rice vermicilli noodles with pork and spring rolls. This dish never fails to please. Its always fresh, the noodles are great, and everything is soo tasty. If you want fresh tasty Vietnamese food then this is the place to go. Previous review 2019 I haven't been here for a while so my partner and I went back for dinner. The service is still really efficient. We ordered some vegan rice paper rolls w bean curd, and they were yummy. Fresh and full of flavour. A great start. I ordered rice vermicelli w spring rolls and pork. This was a great dish, a big serve and I managed to eat some chilli without blowing my head off this time hahaha. My partner ordered vegetarian fried rice which was really good too. Then we shared a Vietnamese pancake which was like glutinous rice and it was fantastic. Filling and it had a nice texture. This place is still good. Previous review June 2017 I went here tonight for some cold noodles. I ordered rice vermicelli noodles w pork spring rolls. This was absolutely delicious, the flavours were outstanding and fresh. I absolutely loved this dish. My friend had wonton noodle soup w sliced pork. The wontons were fresh and the broth amazing!! The service here was great, we were instantly given a table and our food was served pretty quick give that the restaurant was packed. Yummmmmm hahahaha is one word to describe this fantastic dinner tonight. Definitely try this place if you can. And I almost forgot, BEWARE the sliced chillies that are on your table. They are the hottest chillies I've eaten in a very long time. Lucky I only had 1 as my mouth is still tingling hahaha VeganeatsM Vegetarian Food Lover @Amansaraf
